I was in santiago in sept looking at new beds and stopped by the computer section just to see how exspensive they are in the DR. they started at 18,000 and went to 30,000...I remember the 25,000 peso machine looked like it had only a 40 gig HD, and was about 2. something in speed,it had 256mb of memory it had a CD and a floppy. I dont think it had a cd burner...it had some form of graphics card and ethernet I am sure...it was a no name to my mind...it didnt come with a monitor from the looks of the pricing sheet....the more exspensive machine( all the same brand, offered up to 3.0gigs in speed, and up to a 100 gig hard drive.......and some software as well.....good luck...bob
